Rishabh Raj contributed to the keelworks/KeelCompass repository by delivering five backend features over three months, focusing on user content handling, authentication, and search capabilities. He upgraded the database schema to utf8mb4 to support emoji storage, formalized API documentation for authentication flows, and implemented a secure user password reset workflow using Node.js, Express.js, and JWT. Rishabh also introduced a backend search service with full-text search over questions, leveraging Sequelize and SQL for efficient data retrieval. His work emphasized maintainable code, clear documentation, and scalable architecture, addressing both developer experience and end-user needs without introducing any new bugs.

April 2025 — KeelCompass: Delivered feature enhancements focused on clarity, search capability, and developer experience. Key outcomes include a documentation title update for Interest/Bookmark Related APIs and the launch of a Backend Search Service with full-text search support, enabling keyword searches on questions by title/description and prepared for NL and LIKE query modes. These changes improve information discovery, reduce time-to-find for users, and provide a scalable foundation for future data retrieval features. No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on feature delivery and architectural groundwork.
